Beachfront Condos in St. Pete Beach

The beaches on the central coast of west Florida have quite a bit for vacationers to enjoy. They offer white sands and the beautiful waters of the Gulf of Mexico and Tampa Bay. Condos boast whirlpool tubs, gourmet kitchens and terraces with views for miles. Locations near the water translates to walks along the beach or swimming when the mood hits you.

Fishing and Boating

Ferries, day cruises, and fish charters are just the beginning of the water activities available in St. Petersburg. Tourists are treated to unscripted shows from dolphins and rays. Manatees are another show stopper that requires no introductions. Trips leave from the Florida Central Gulf Coast and set sail to provide an interactive experience with snorkeling and shelling on Egmont and Shell Key.

There is a history to this area few know about. Just off the beaten path of the bigger Florida cities, this oasis offers visitors a taste of unparalleled outdoor wonders.

St. Petersburg Pier

Spectacular is the only word that can describe this masterpiece that extends more than half a mile into Tampa Bay. The structure houses hotel accommodations, restaurants, entertainment venues and the best fishing in the area. For things to do, consider shopping at a variety of retail locations before settling in to watch a breath-taking sunset.

Sunken Gardens

Indigenous flora and fauna abound with Chilean flamingo, Brugmansia, bougainvillea, shrimp planta, royal palms, and Mexican petunias darting the landscape. Various size ponds in eclectic shapes are attached to a meandering pathway system. Papayas trees and several exotic fruits and vegetable are grown year round.

Fort De Soto Park

It boasts views of Tampa Bay, Gulf of Mexico, and the soaring Sunshine Skyway Bridge that spans more than four miles. There are over 1,100 acres of campgrounds, fishing and picnic areas, and dog parks. Hiking trails offer inspiring nature walks and boardwalks that lead to one of the top sandy beach shores in America. Kayaking near the shore or taking out vessels of various sizes is also an option.
